Woweee 16 Open Homes this weekend!
It's on like Donkey Kong (reply to me if you know what I'm saying with that...showing our age!). I digress - we have 16 Open Homes this weekend and each property is gorgeous. The vendors have really gone the extra mile to ensure these properties are at full spec and ready for you to move in. Come and have a look here
We have also been super busy doing new appraisals for everyone as the market shifts. It's important to know what your property is worth now and not compare to what sold at the end of last year. The market is fluid and we're IN it all day, every day. So get an appraisal from us today by filling out our Online Appraisal Form
Fill it out here and we'll let you know what your property is worth in todays market in 24 hours - no pressure and all free. We're proud to say we get within 5% of the sell price from our appraisal. We're honest and don't over valuate your property to get your business.
While 99% of events are cancelling in Red we're proud to say that Harcourts Cooper & Co. Run the North Shore events and Beach Series are still going ahead. Our marketing lady Penny has been getting involved and representing Team Roberts each week.
Anyone can enter and get involved in a safe environment. So don't think you need to wipe out summer because we're in Red. Come down to the beach and see us all each week at the Beach Series or the last two Run the North Shore races left in the series on Sundays.
House prices remain strong as sales volume eases
House prices remain strong in Auckland as 2022 gets underway. Median sale price data for NZ’s most populous region shows an increase of 20.6% year-on-year to $1,200,000 - up from $995,000.
January often sees sales activity slow, Auckland saw the number of properties sold decrease 32.2% annually — from 1,951 in January 2021 to 1,323 in January 2022.
A closer look at the North Shore and North West echos the above. The lack of available stock contributing to strong house price growth and competition in our auction rooms – resulting in a 70% clearance rate for January.
Across our Cooper & Co offices, listing boards show strong activity with many new properties launching – or having already launched in February. The increased availability should see more choice for buyers, perhaps increasing sales volume but having the opposite affect on price growth as we settle into a steadier market.
Market update for North Shore & North West market based on REINZ market statistics for January 2021, released 15th February 2022.

P.S. Check out our fun Friday morning meeting walking to see some of the Whales Tales Art Trail in Takapuna. 🐳
From 24 January- 18 April 2022 a trail of unique and stunning whale Tail sculptures, designed by artists and children, sponsored by business and organisations will animate Tāmaki Makaurau and bring to life themes of protecting and restoring the mauri of our Ocean. Inspired by the Bryde’s Whale, the 80 Big Broos (large Tail sculptures) and 80 Pēpi (mini Tail sculptures) will dot Auckland’s streets, parks, and open spaces to provide residents and visitors a fresh opportunity to explore the City of Sails.
The legacy of Whale Tales will continue long after the fun of the trail has ended with the sculptures being auctioned to raise significant funds to power the vital work WWF-New Zealand does to look after our moana (ocean) and her marine life throughout Aotearoa, particularly in and around the Hauraki Gulf.
